Not a difficult plant to grow, I don't have that many, but am glad that many of them are blooming now..

Little furry creature! Wish to see it blooms successfully here in SG, if yes, I hope it can last till or after WOC.. ha ha!

Paph Chou-Yi Yuki

Paph Chou-Yi Yuki

Hybrid (nivuem x hangianum)

There are few currently in bloomed, I have to admit that not all of them are with nice shape or pouch. This is one of those with better shape!

After 3 years!

Finally, after waited for 3 years... am still waiting, but am just 50% away to see the flower!

Paph lowii

Paph lowii

species

It's a little unfortunate with only one flower, there were 3 flowers in the last few blooms, I guess it has something to do with the weather, was hot and dry for the last one month until recently.

Second flower (back)bloomed about few days ago.

Paph Muriel Constance

Paph Muriel Constance

Hybrid (Greyi x bellatulum)

Quite a number of them bloomed now, and with some in buds. Most of them bloomed last year, but their flowers were smaller than this year.


Looking forward to see most of them in a one or two weeks time!

Paph S. Gratrix

Paph S. Gratrix

Hybrid (godefroyae x bellatulum)

Another paph S.Gratrix bloomed after I came back from an overseas trip. The shape and color are very much like godefroyae, I don't really see much of bellatulum in it.

Paph Nathaniel's Pride

Paph Nathaniel's Pride

Hybrid (philippinense x hangianum)

From crossing, to collecting seed pod, to sending to lab, to deflasking, to growing.. 4years later, finally bloomed.. 

Paph godefroyae 'alba'

Paph godefroyae 'alba'

Not the perfect shape, just the the purity of the flower!

Paph niveum

Paph niveum

This niveum spiked and bloomed in the compot! The flower is about 5.5cm across and it's very round. The plant is very relatively small as compare to other niveum that I have.

Nevertheless, I am happy with the outcome!

Paph Belle Luxe

Paph Belle Luxe

Hybrid (exul x bellatulum)

A hybrid that is rare seen around, may be due to the shape of the flower. You don't see much of bellatulum in it, however, the dorsal does resemble one of the parents, exul.


Very easy plant to grow, can withstand hot season, and brighter light. One thing that I really want to complain is that, it took almost 3 plus months to bloom! (hopefully the flower can last for 3 months!)

Paph concolor

Paph concolor

2 more concolor from the same flask, somehow I just wonder, why different so much?

Paph leucochilum

Paph leucochilum

First bloom after adopting it from a friend whom decided to give it up last year, the bud was huge prior to blooming, unfortunately, the flower did not open up more. 

Paph niveum

Paph niveum

One of the easier paph to grow, not much effort was put in for taking care of it. Not the best form but I do like the purple pimples.

Paph barbatum

Paph barbatum

It has been 2 and half years since the last bloom, the flower is smaller than the previous bloom; Nevertheless, I really like it.

Paph Nathaniel's Autumn Maple

Paph Nathaniel's Autumn Maple

Hybrid (bellatulum x leucochilum)

First time flowering, not fully opened yet, perhaps another few more days, will update the progress.

concolor and spicerianum

Paph concolor

After 2 years out from flask, this is the first one to bloom. Had been very lucky that 100% of them grew up successfully. currently there are few more budding, hope to see bigger flower.

Paph spicerianum

One of the easiest paph to grow in SG, spicerianum is one of those intermediate paph that that grow very well in SG, not much attention needed, it will just grow and grow and grow...

Paph ang-thong

Paph ang-thong 

First bloomed for this pot, all 3 flowers has beautiful nice markings. In the past ang-thong was classified as part of godefroyae's family, or too known as natural hybrid of godefroyae and niveum, man made of godefroyae and niveum is known as Greyi.

Paph ang-thong is now recognized as a species of its own.  

Paph godefroyae 'abla'

Paph godefroyae 'alba'

I have more than 10 now in bloomed, but not all of them were closed to perfection, except these 2! Round shape and with rather even petals. 

was rather unfortunate for the second godefroyae, didn't know that it was already bloomed when I spray pesticide. developed some brown spots on the flower!

Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum

Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum

First time bloomer, not really pleased with the outcome, both patels are not of the same size. Hopefully the next bloom will be better.
